This was not a pleasant conversation. Leaving home, Ouyang Hao headed straight to the airport and took a flight back to T City that very night. By the time he returned to T City, it was already midnight. Lin Yixun was half asleep when the ringing phone woke her up. She hurriedly hung up the call and glanced sideways, thankfully her mother was still sound asleep. She looked at the phone screen, the call was from Ouyang Hao. Lin Yixun’s heart skipped a beat, but she didn’t call back. Soon after, a text from Ouyang Hao came through. "I’m downstairs at your place." Lin Yixun was shocked. Why was Ouyang Hao back? And why was he here? She threw on some clothes and tiptoed out of the bedroom. Through the balcony window, she indeed saw a car downstairs with its headlights on. Another text message came through, "If you don’t come down, I’ll come up." Lin Yixun was annoyed. Was this guy a bandit? Afraid that Ouyang Hao might actually come upstairs, Lin Yixun hurriedly changed and went downstairs. Seeing Ouyang Hao, Lin Yixun glared at him fiercely and said sulkily, "What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" Before she could finish her sentence, Ouyang Hao grabbed her and said aloud, "Come, I’ll take you somewhere." Lin Yixun struggled but stood still, "If you have something to say, say it here." Ouyang Hao smiled, "Just a few days without seeing me, and your temper has grown. Do you want me to carry you to the car?" "I’ll give you five seconds. If you don’t move, I’ll really carry you to the car." "Ouyang Hao, don’t you know this is being a rogue?" "Dealing with you, being a rogue is necessary." As the saying goes, "A good woman is afraid of a persistent man." Lin Yixun had no choice but to get into the car. Ouyang Hao suddenly leaned over, and just when his high nose was about to touch Lin Yixun’s face, she quickly turned her head aside. Smiling mischievously, Ouyang Hao quickly pulled the seatbelt over her and teased, "What are you thinking? I just noticed you didn’t buckle up." Lin Yixun’s face turned red. She pushed him away and muttered, "I have hands, I can buckle up myself." Seeing Lin Yixun’s face turn red and white, Ouyang Hao couldn’t help but laugh, "You’re angry out of embarrassment, aren’t you?" Lin Yixun turned her face away, not wanting to engage with him. During the drive, although there wasn’t much conversation between them, the atmosphere in the car was relatively harmonious. The car drove on and eventually stopped by the seaside. Ouyang Hao opened the car door and got out. Seeing Lin Yixun still not moving, he walked over to the passenger side and opened her door, "What are you doing just sitting there? Come on out." Lin Yixun got out of the car and looked up, asking, "Why did you bring me here?" Ouyang Hao gave her a deep glance but didn’t answer. Instead, he reached out to hold her hand. Seeing her wanting to pull away, he tightened his grip, holding her soft hand firmly in his palm. Lin Yixun was half-dragged to the seaside by him. At that moment, countless flames suddenly shot up from the opposite bay, exploding into brilliant fireworks in the sky, dyeing the night sky in splendid colors. The myriad shapes of fireworks reflected off the sea as they fell, turning the entire surface into a colorful palette. "Happy New Year, Lin Yixun!" Ouyang Hao’s voice sounded from behind, deep and mesmerizing. Lin Yixun slowly turned around, falling into a pair of bright, smiling eyes. She stared blankly at the man in front of her. Even though the sea breeze was bitterly cold, cutting against her cheeks like knives, her heart felt unprecedented warmth.
